A strength of the forensic science integrated learning major is that it must be paired with a base major that aligns with your interests and career goals. 例如, if you’re interested in working in a forensic science laboratory, 你还应该主修生物或化学.

A professional advisor and faculty mentor will help with major selection early in your four-year plan.
